Piemach used Inkscape iirc

 

[Matele]

I have been using GIMP for years for raster images but is it worthwhile for vectors too?

Inkscape is better for vectors.

 

[rabbitoh21]

Ask rabbitoh21, he used if for a long time.

Never touched it. Paint.NET for raster, Inkscape for vector, Illustrator for everything now.

Also, best way to get in contact with state league sides re: jumpers.

Almost every WAFL club, probably every one, doesn't sell anything near a respectable version of their jumper. They all have stupid club logos and no sponsorships. I've shot South Fremantle an email but they still haven't gotten back to me. Surely they'd be keen to off-sell an old unused one for 70 bucks?

This is bizarre. Don't take this the wrong way, but why would you want all of this on a club guernsey?

Some people want exactly what their team is wearing

Anyone know any fonts that work well in traditional football club-type monograms?

Nothing, really. A good monogram is probably going to have to be done from scratch. You could look at fonts for inspiration, but you'll have to change so much to get it to fit that it wont be worth the hassle

West Perth and East Perth is not South Fremantle...

South Fremantle appear to have similar advertising all of the jumpers too though.

Don't know if it fits on this board, but has anyone seen an unfinished prototype before? I understand trialling different cuffs etc, but why make a Carlton jumper with no logo?

Some savvy dewds could use that as a template base. Nothing like it around, as far as I've seen.

That would be before they attach the 3D monogram.
Awesome

That's what I'd be thinking.
The company that sublimates the jumpers is not the one who heat presses the logos on to them.
(While contracted to Nike, neither are probably owned by Nike)
The Carlton monograms have a raised feel to them, they're not just printed on.
This is apparently one of the jumpers that has yet to make it to the heat press stage.

Is the CFC the only guernsey element in the AFL to be heatpressed?
If Nike do not stay on with us, I hope we continue this tradition. It just makes the design bolder as opposed to a sublimated design.

As far as I know, yes.
That is, apart from the Grand Final logos which are heat pressed onto the regular season jumpers.
You'd also include sponsor logos who change mid-year.

Why do you never see them fall off like the Grand Final ones do?

 

[Fizzler]

It is embossed, I think that requires a different process as opposed to heat pressing.

 

[Andonis1997]

It's 100% stuck onto the guernsey and it's not a temporary patch so it might be a different process (like Fizzler said). If I can take a decent photo of my baby blue clash I can show you how it's stuck on.

Would be interested to know how it's done, you'd think being crushed in a tackle or the jumper being ripped it'd crack.

Can't be ripped. What it's made of prevents it.
It feels like it's made of a cardboard type material, underneath a felt covering?
I'll take photos.
Think of like a playdough type filling, with a leather outside, stitched on to flexible fabric. You can't rip it, can you?

well, since your template has shading, it means the shading will actually show up on black/dark navy jumpers.

if necessary, you can also create a new swatch w/ r/g/b values of 0 for text or other things not on the jumper.
